Overview

This circular inland walk starts from Rye train station and loops through Peasmarsh, Iden and Playden before returning to the historic and picturesque town of Rye.

Leaving from outside the train station, this walk initially follows the High Weald Landscape Trail along the river Tillingham before heading through the pretty village of Peasmarsh and then on to Iden for the lunch stop. The walk returns back to Rye via Playden and takes in great views of the rural Sussex countryside. There will be time at the end to explore the town of Rye and its quaint shops, pubs and cafes.
